As heads of government arrived in New York on Monday to attend the opening of the United Nations General Assembly, President Obama also made his way to Manhattan but to see a different group of world leaders: Barbara, Elisabeth, Joy, Sherri and Whoopi.

It bordered on scandalous that Obama, joined by the first lady, would make time to sit down with the women of "The View" even as he declined foreign leaders' requests to meet with him one on one in New York this week. (He left that menial task to his secretary of state.) But Mitt Romney isn't in an ideal position to press Obama on his priorities.
